Nice site Glock, Really nice:)

I used it last year to help with home schooling the kiddos, I wont post the score I just made because it is too embarrassing, I was trying to hurry:rolleyes:

It also always gives the states in random orders and there have been times that it gave them in such an order that it was really too easy to nail perfectly. If one catches some of those Midwest states first it is really hard to set them just right, once a few are in place it is much easier.

The New England states can also be a total PITA. Doing it over and over does help tremendously though. Thanks for the reminder:) as I am currently starting another year of Home school, they will have this to do yet again over and over until they get it right, I really wonder how much they remember from last year and know full well my kids would do better than most in their grades in this school system

I recall in 89-90 when I first went back to college(15 years after HS) we had to take a class and one of the first assignments was a page with all the states outlined and we had to do was fill them all in.

I was shocked at how many of the recent HS grads did not have a clue, and I do mean NO CLUE, they were putting north and south Carolina out west, the Dakotas on the east coast and all kinds of crazy stuff like that, a few of them spent the entire class and never did finish the thing:screwy:

At any rate I think it is a good site and there are many other cool things there, it was in my Favs but I had forgotten about it, Thanks for rattling an Ole man's brain.
